It's All in the Timing

Good Idea (yes or no): show up late to work the morning after saying "I won't be in if I win the big lottery"?

Every time the PowerBall or MegaMillions gets into the stratosphere, people like to quip how, "if I win, tonight, I won't be in tomorrow." It's pretty much a given at this point.

Last night, someone (twp people, actually) hit it big on the current über jackpot. Today (due to some bug that's making the rounds of the office) a number of people were absent. Wonder how many managers were worried it was a jackpot-related absence?

Wrinkles in Plans

It occurred to me that, if we get a new dog, soon, I'll need someone to go with me to weekend home Flyers games. Hopefully, it won't be a full-season thing. Hopefully, the new daig will adjust quickly enough that we can feel comfortable making weekend day-trips. But, still.

Dunno what's gonna happen with Christmas, if we can get a dog sorted before then, either. I don't think it will be an issue, given that we won't even be starting to see dogs until the 18th and most rescues want to do home-visits before placing a dog. Given that Christmas is inside a week, I don't see it getting knocked out before then. But, we may be pleasantly surprised. If we are, then, may need to change Christmas travel plans.
